This recipe was submitted by a Hass Avocado fan and has not been tested by the Hass Avocado Board.

• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp. salt or for a better taste use 2 Tbsp. of capers instead of salt. I prefer capers.
• 2 Tbsp. Tahini paste
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 (15.5 ounce) cans of garbanzo beans 1 can drained + 1 can of Cannellini beans drained
• 1/2 cup of light olive oil
• 1 Hass Avocado
• 3/4 cup of fresh cilantro or basil which ever to taste
• 1/8 tsp. paprika or to taste
  
  (optional) If you want to spice it up a little
  
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper or 1/2 tsp. ground red chipotle pepper

The chipotle really gives it a great taste!
